Stair Styles

Find the stair that fits your home.

Start with the look — Traditional, Transitional, or Modern — then shape it: the configuration that fits your space, the wood series on the rail, and the iron pattern between the posts. Answer a few questions and we'll point you to yours.

Closed-stringer box stair with oak treads and white balusters — Faucett residence
Start with the look

Three design styles. One that fits your home.

Everything we build speaks one of three design languages. Traditional leans on turned wood balusters, carved newels, and federal or colonial proportions. Transitional is the Lehigh Valley's most-requested update — wood and iron mixed on one rail. Modern strips the ornament out: square stock, clean lines, satin-black iron.

Style is the look. The three choices below — configuration, wood, and iron — are how you build it. (Curved, flared, and circular are stair shapes any of the three styles can take, not styles of their own.) Pick the language first, then choose the parts that carry it.

How you build the look

Three choices carry the style.

Configuration sets the shape of the stair. Wood series sets the turning on the rail. Iron pattern sets the metalwork between the posts. Most projects mix one of each — each has its own catalog below.
